if the guy is straight he can wear whatever he wants, pierce whatever he wants . now if he was homophobic and was scared people thought he was gay he would worry about what ear to pierce .
it basically boils down to guys being metro sexual . if the man looks good in it let him wear it, i think guys with tattoos and piercings look damn smexy and confident . now a guy with just 1 lonely earring .... now that looks kind of weird ... i mean if u got one done do the other, do 4 more while your at it !
i prefer guys who take care of their appearance everyday like they are due to go onto the red carpet at any moment, as to guys who resemble farmers ...

To be honest the only reason people may think its "gay" for a guy to have an earring is because that is what society/the media has labeled it as. In my opinion I think that piercing is apart of body art, self expression or style, no one should be labeled as anything just because they have a piercing. Body art is sexy!

I agree that some guys can pull it off (more power to them!) but it is definitely not a trend for everyone of the male gender. Also, I personally think that ear plugs are SO gross, no matter who they are on...
